WILDES and St Francis Hotel share haunting new single ‘In The Floodlight’
WILDES and St Francis Hotel have unveiled their latest collaborative track, ‘In The Floodlight,’ offering a final preview of their upcoming EP Kopfkino, set to release on February 19.
‘In The Floodlight’ is a brooding, art-pop piece that delves into the complexities of personal growth and the many transformations experienced from adolescence into adulthood. The track’s atmospheric production, blending influences from 80s synth-pop and trip-hop, provides a lush, moody backdrop to WILDES’ evocative storytelling.
“This song chronicles adolescence into adulthood and the many versions of ourselves that live and die on the way to uncovering our true nature. Each verse represents a different period in my twenties, as I grew and fought against who I wanted to be, and who I was told I should be. Despite all of the experiences that change our outlook and values in life, there always remains a little seed of who we were in our youth before life’s complexities appear, and for me, that is deeply reassuring.”
With ‘In The Floodlight,’ WILDES and St Francis Hotel continue to establish their collaborative prowess, delivering a track that resonates with its rich emotional depth and immersive soundscapes. As a final glimpse into Kopfkino, the song promises a compelling exploration of the mind’s intricacies, setting high expectations for the full EP.
